A disgrace

This movie is basically a tele-novelization of Guillermo Arriaga's book "Un Dulce Olor a Muerte" (English translation available in the UK), and a movie which the author (also screenwriter of Amores Perros and 21 Grams) has rightly disavowed. Its poor acting and unauthentic portrayal of rural Mexico are a disgrace to Arriaga's novel. The makers of this movie failed to recognize ALL of the important literary themes in Arriaga's book - namely the visceral response and repulsion of death, and the impossible dead end/catch-22 of postmodern existence - themes which Arriaga continued to examine in Amores Perros and 21 Grams.

Please promise me that you will never see this movie and instead will do the following:

A) read the novel or B) go and watch Amores Perros

but preferably

C) do both.
